Survived another week.

Having a RL beer. LIG.

Those charts will still be waiting for me on Monday, ambushing me like Hobbes when I open the office door. For now, they are sleeping. (Yes, like Hobbes.)

Water's on for pasta, waiting for the hubster and boychild to come home. (No, not to go on the pasta, to go AROUND the pasta!)

PR: Have you ever tried creme de cassis? It's blackcurrant liquer. Quite nice and fairly mellow in flavor. It's used *in* things normally like white wine (Kir) or champagne (Kir Royale), but I like it in hot cider and other such bevvies.

Barkeep, I'll have have a Pint o' the good stuff.

Been a strange couple of weeks. Rose was fired from her job of 6 years on New Years eve by her assistant manager. After a few days, she called the store manager and spoke to him.

Rose has her job back

But in the meantime, I think I will keep an eye out for something better for her.

There is fine print on the back of the card indicating that the item is not guaranteed to work, the manufacturer cannot be held liable or responsible for results, and the warranty implied or otherwise is null and void should the item be used or in fact touched by the recipient virtually or physically.

Ok, I'm bored of the weather now. I wouldn't mind if I lived in a country that could cope with a few days of snow and cold but we're in the middle of epic fail and walking accross pavements which are basically sheet ice is getting old fast!

Hey everyone, I'll stop moaning now! How we all doing? Seeing shiney things from HK!

New year, OU work arrived and I'm getting to start early, seeing really good mates this weekend and get to own someone at a computer game for once, ok it's guitar hero and I'm cheating as am drummer but still it counts right? Week after that I'm off to see sis and fiance, getting measured for suits as somehow usher and next weekend, have Christmas present from other half's folks in form of a Red Kite walk. January is teh awesome, except for this damn weather!

(Takes a magic drink. Then another.)

I do so love being called "incompetent motherfucker" by a patient. I think it shall become my new hobby.

(Reaches for a third drink, then realizes that a virtual hangover is still no fun.)

I'm going to bed. Then I'm going to work again, and I'll be repeating the process Friday.

Luckily for me a visionary was assassinated before I was born so that someday we could all get Monday off. (That was tasteless bad humor and possibly sacreligious. I KNOW that his death was not a good thing and we get the day off to celebrate his life and work. Nobody has to accuse me of bigotry or disrespect. I think he might actually laugh at the totally wrong humor.) You have to wonder if anybody ever called MLK "incompetent motherfucker". I'd probably feel a little better if they had.

I need to spend a day away from people who come to you for help because they don't have many choices about where to go, then insult you for trying to help them.
I really hope she feels better.
Bitch.

I'm sorry. I was complaining again, wasn't I..

In my head he's saying "Watch as the stealthy HK slowly circles her prey, keeping well hidden so she doesn't alarm them. While the Zero is aware of her presence, her patience lures Zero into a false sense of security. HK waits for the perfect moment to pounce."

Or something like that.

I've heard about your much loved Slytherin blanket many times, but never saw it till now. I'm not even a fan of the potter series and I have to admit that is pretty cool, you has talented friends.

And of course we need pics of the scarf... pics or it never happened.

(Restocks breakables room, checks temp on chocolate hot tub, peeks out side door to see if Forsaken pyre's embers are still banked properly, poofs the pillows and airs the blankets in the nap loft, does the stock order for the bar, turns on the grill, plugs in the jukebox, dusts the potted palms, surveys the effect, nods to self, walks to front door and turns over the open sign. Which reads "Open" on both sides.)
